A Conversation with Shalanda Young

The Dean’s Office and Tax Law Center at NYU School of Law invite you to a conversation with Shalanda Young, director of the United States Office of Management and Budget, on Tuesday, October 22, at 3:00 p.m., in Greenberg Lounge, located on the first floor of Vanderbilt Hall. 

Shalanda Young, a member of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet, is the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. She made history when she was confirmed with a bipartisan vote in the United States Senate, becoming the first Black woman to lead the agency. Director Shalanda Young moved to D.C. nearly two decades ago to serve as a Presidential Management Fellow at the National Institute of Health. She then spent 14 years on Capitol Hill, where she ultimately served as Staff Director for the House Appropriations Committee. As Director, she has secured historic levels of funding for key national priorities—from vital assistance to Ukraine, to disaster relief for communities impacted by natural disasters, to critical investments in child care, education, public health, and climate. She was a top negotiator of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 that averted a catastrophic debt default and lifted the debt ceiling. Director Young will speak about budget negotiations, advancing the administration’s agenda, and her path to the White House.

Lily Batchelder, Robert C. Kopple Family Professor of Law, and David Kamin, Charles L. Denison Professor of Law, will moderate the discussion, and Dean Troy McKenzie will give welcome remarks.

Kindly RSVP.
